RAW FED PUPS VS. KIBBLE FED PUPS- PICTURES - Page 13

Ramage, that corgi puppy looks amazing. Saying anything less about her is BS.

People will see what they WANT to see, especially when they are trying to rationalize their behavior. 

More pictures of kibble-fed mommies and their puppies

Thank you Mollyandjack. I agree! Molly's (eichenluft's) low opinion, luckily, means nothing to me. The pictures speak for themselves.

I also don't disagree with anyone who feeds kibble. A lot of my friends do. Where I disagree is feeding Ol' Roy or something equally as cheap and nasty. However, I usually find that it's through lack of knowledge that people feed Ol' Roy, not because they don't care. JMHO

More pictures of boarders in excellent coat/condition fed crap food (Old Roy, Kibbles and Bits, Beneful, Science Diet, Purina ONE, Big Red, Pedigree, Dog Chow are the most common foods I see)





This dog is mostly outdoors, not groomed and usually dirty when he comes here - still his coat is healthy - he eats Dog Chow.


This Husky recently passed away at 17 years old.  Picture taken at 15 years old.   Fed Pedigree.

I agree Ramage - first your corgi puppy has a very nice coat in the older pictures - and if it's smaller can't tell as it's not near another pup to compare.  The very first picture though it was a lot smaller, and coat appeared rougher.  I thought you had posted that picture to compare the healthier (bigger, fatter, better coat as it appeared in that picture) puppies fed kibble.  If you prefered your pup to be smaller (growing slower) fine and dandy - I was commenting on what I saw in that picture as this thread is about comparing puppies fed kibble and raw.  Obviously your puppy grew up to be healthy, and I assume it caught up in size too.

I also agree - most "pet" people don't have a clue about what is best to feed their dogs.  They listen to the vet, or they see the advertisements (Beneful is very popular now because of the excellent ads for it) and they think they are feeding the right thing because that's what they hear, or it hasn't crossed their minds to do research on nutrition for their dogs.

And, most dogs seem to do just fine on the crappy food, the majority living long lives with few health problems and no problems with allergies, skin or coat condition.

Molly, our psycho who is messing with peds is emailing me. Please remove the pics of your house.

Now back to our regularly scheduled argument;-) LOL

Jenni why the insults? You say:
"We have those who think they are some kind of genius who cannot read the words on the page, those who think bigger is better (and healthier), those who think because they cannot wrap their heads around how to feed a dog raw food without causing explosive diarrhea, and flat out liars."

Insulting someone's reading comprehension may hurt a person working on their GED, not an MD.  And if I thought I was a genius, I sure as hell wouldn't be in  med school.  Jenni, you've still failed to mention what I was twisting and poorly comprehending in the previous posts.

UVW, I've put your statements in orange highlight

"Unfortunately you can't quantify benefit from scientific studies because:

a) there are too many variables,"

This is where randomization, large sample size, and case matching, for exampe remove the bias of confounding variables.


"You don't need science.  Nature doesn't operate according to scientific studies.  You need common sense."

So then what is the study of natural science?  Those in the field would disagree with you.

IMO all i see is that possably Raw fed dogs grow alittle bit slower which is good because they dont have alot of chances at growth plate,tendon,ligamant damage. but my family has had large breed dogs for years including mastiffs and danes our mastiff was fed olroy and he was a happy healthy boy till 12 years old. the danes are 3 years old atm but they are on high quality food because they have alergies.

all of my germans are on solid gold dog food and they both have nice shiny coats. all of my litter of puppies has shiny coats. as the pups get older i will continue to post pictures of them. and their weights.

the difference is a matter of opinion now that i have more knowledge i will never feed cheap kibble but good quality kibble is perfictly fine aswell as raw its personal pref just like useing a harness or a collar in SchH...


Opinions are like Assholes everyone has one and noone wants someone elses.
